Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
The wget binary depends on many libraries. On Debian 9 (stretch) these
are: libffi6, libgnutls30, libhogweed4, libidn11, libidn2-0, libnettle6,
libp11-kit0, libpsl5, libtasn1-6, libunistring0. In total 8 megabytes.
This increases the initramfs size a lot. To save space, use wget from
busybox instead. Commit 4328832d0 that adds wget does not give a reason
why busybox's wget is not used. A patch is tested and attached.

Changes:
live-boot (1:20180328) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Fix read-only persistence mode with overlayfs. Closes: #877776
Thanks to Ronny Standtke <ronny.standtke@fhnw.ch> for the patch.
* Add a small warning in the long description that the
package must not be installed on a regular system, but only in
a live image. Closes: #884886
* Strip comments from checksums files passed to "shaXsum -c"
Thanks to Andreas Heinlein for the report (Closes: #856482)
.
[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Repo moved to salsa
.
[ Benjamin Drung ]
* Don't replace busybox's wget by the true wget.
It was likely done for https support but since buster the busybox
provided wget has https support too. We save a lot of space by
doing so (8 Mb). (Closes: #885455)
* Avoid double slashes in some paths (Closes: #885453)
* Support setting upperdir tmpfs size with overlay-size boot parameter
(Closes: #885466)
* Simplify mount point handling by using /run/live instead of /lib/live/mount
(Closes: #886328)
* Add configuration variables to build a stripped down initrd
(Closes: #886337)
.
[ Daniel Reichelt ]
* Use klibc's mount again for fuse mounts (Closes: #868559)
.
[ raizo62 ]
* Update DNSFILE even if DNSFILE contains only commented or empty lines
.
[ Sameer Agrawal ]
* Fix ifconfig parsing (Closes: #892772)
.
[ Chas Williams ]
* Add back persistence fsck option
* Remove workaround for ipconfig issues
.
[ Benjamin Drung ]
* Remove sourcing /scripts/functions in components
* Support live-{top,premount,bottom} hooks (Closes: #884355)
.
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Add backward compatibility rbind mount /lib/live/mount -> /run/live.
The paths used in the current released versions of live-boot are a
form of public API, and existing applications and scripts might rely
on them. Do a recursive bind mount of the new path on the previous one
so that they do not break on upgrade (see #886328).
This backward-compatible mount point will be deprecated and removed
before the Bullseye (Debian 11) release. Users are recommended to start
migrating to the new /run/live path as soon as possible.
.
[ Erik Ziegenbalg ]
* fromiso: add support for local ISO (ONIE)
.
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Clarify FROMISO documentation in live-boot manpage
* Use HTTPS in debian/copyright (policy 4.0.0).
* Remove dead link to live-systems.org from debian/copyright.
* Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.3, no changes.
* Add myself to Uploaders.
